Fire Prevention Week Begins Today

Local Sources- The Indiana Department of Homeland Security is partnering with the National Fire Protection Association to encourage Hoosiers to plan ahead so every family member knows what to do in the event of a house fire. 2022 is the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week.

This year’s theme is “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape.” Families can take simple yet important actions to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires.

New homes can burn faster than ever because of the material used during construction. You may have as little as two minutes or less to safely escape a house fire once a smoke alarm sounds.
